ISLAMAIC WORLD vs NON-ISLAMIC WORLD

ISLAMAIC WORLD vs NON-ISLAMIC WORLD where Muslims stand know

Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seekrefuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our baddeeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, andwhomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness thatthere is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is Hisslave and Messenger.

Dear Brother in Islam,

But we should make it very clear that not all kinds of knowledge beingtaught are correct. I am sure you are very well aware that prophetMuhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم always asked Allah سبحانه وتعالى forbeneficial knowledge( ' ilman naafiran).

As such, all muslims should read, understand and apply knowledge fromthe book of Allahسبحانه وتعالى (Al-Qur'an Al-Kareem) in which is trueguidance concerning all spheres of life whether one want to become afather, a mother, a scientist, a lawyer, a businessman, a just ruler,etc. just like the companions of prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلمused knowledge from Al-Qur'an Al-Kareem as was taught to them by thelast prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and they succeeded as Allah سبحانه وتعالى has promised to those who follow His guidance inAl-Qur'an Al-Kareem and who obey His last prophet Muhammad صلى اللهعليه وسلم by adhering to the teachings and practice of prophetMuhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم

I mean we muslims should apply the guidance in Al-Qur'an Al-Kareem inour life with sincere intention of seeking the pleasure of Allahسبحانه وتعالى which is the aim for which Allah سبحانه وتعالى hascreated mankind - not for riya, not for fame but to be true Muslimssubmitting our wills to Allahسبحانه وتعالى in all spheres of ourlife. This means to care for the whole world and all what it containsincluding ourselves as Allah سبحانه وتعالى has ordered us to do andthis is Worshipping Allah سبحانه وتعالى alone.

*Demographics:* o World Jewish Population. 14 million o Distribution: 7 m in America 5 m in Asia 2 m in Europe 100 thousand in Africa o World Muslim Population: 1.5 billion o Distribution: 1 billion in Asia/Mid-East 400 M in Africa 44 M in Europe 6 M in the Americas o Every fifth human being is a Muslim. o For every single Hindu there are two Muslims o For every Buddhist there are two Muslims o For every Jew there are 107 Muslims o Yet the 14 million Jews are more powerful than the entire 1.5 billionMuslims

Here's another reason. We have lost the capacity to produce knowledge.

o In the entire Muslim World (57 Muslim Countries) there are only 500universities. o In USA alone, 5,758 universities o In India alone, 8,407 universities o Not one university in the entire Islamic World features in the Top 500Ranking Universities of the World o Literacy in the Christian World 90% o Literacy in the Muslim World 40% o 15 Christian majority-countries, literacy rate 100% o Muslim majority - countries , None o 98% in Christian countries completed primary o Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary. o 40% in Christian countries attended university o In Muslim countries a dismal 2% attended. o Muslim majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims o The USA has 5000 per million o The Christian world 1000 technicians per million. o Entire Arab World only 50 technicians per million. o Muslim World spends on research/development 0.2% of GDP o Christian World spends 5 % of GDP

*Conclusion.* o The Muslim World lacks the capacity to produce knowledge.

Another way of testing the degree of knowledge is the degree of diffusingknowledge.

o Pakistan 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizens o Singapore 460 per 1000 citizens. o In UK book titles per million is 2000 o In Egypt book titles per million is only 17

*Conclusion.* o Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge

Applying Knowledge is another such test. o Exports of high tech products from Pakistan is 0.9% of its exports. o In Saudi Arabia is 0.2% o Kuwait , Morocco and Algeria 0.3% o Singapore alone is 68%

*Conclusion.* o Muslim World is failing to apply knowledge.

What do you conclude? no need to tell the figures are speakingthemselves very loudly we are unable to listen

Advice:

Please educate yourself and your children. always promote education, don'tcompromise on it, don't ignore your children's slightest misguidance fromeducation (and please, for God's Sake, don't use your personal contacts orsources to promote your children in their education; if they fail, let themand make them learn to pass; b/c if they can't do it now, they can't ever).We are World's biggest and strongest nation, all we need is to identify andexplore our ownselves. Our victory is with our knowledge, our creativity,our literacy...And nothing else.
